In today's fast-paced world, finding balance can feel like an elusive goal—especially for moms and businesswomen who are constantly juggling multiple roles. As someone who has navigated the demands of a professional career while raising a family, I understand the unique challenges that come with striving for balance. The truth is, I think balance is bul$@it! Balance isn't about achieving a perfect state of equilibrium; it's about finding harmony in the chaos and learning to prioritize what truly matters.

Change is often seen as a disruptor, something that throws us off balance and challenges our status quo. But I’ve found that change, in all its forms, is one of the most powerful catalysts for growth and self-discovery. Throughout my almost 2 decades in start-ups on both American coasts, you might imagine that change has been my constant companion. It's been in those MOMumental moments of transition where I’ve found the greatest opportunities for innovation, leadership, and resilience.

As women entrepreneurs, we often set our sights on big goals—securing a major investment, launching a new product, or expanding into a new market. While these monumental achievements are undoubtedly important, they are often the result of countless small wins that happen along the way. Recognizing and celebrating these small victories is not just a feel-good exercise; it's a strategic approach to building momentum, fostering resilience, and achieving long-term success.
